I've tried that one with the kids, too, and my wife kinda frowned on it. Thought the house would feel a little too empty.

Side note: This coach continues to be employed despite being sent for anger management several times due to his behavior as dictated by the state athletic association. Once I was made aware of this, I refused any assignments involving his team.

Sounds like a great call, sturdy. I would think even the ASSIGNOR might refuse games involving a coach like that!

In my association you'll most likely have at least one veteran official doing these games, and our higher rated officials who aren't eligible to do higher level tournaments wind up working 8th grade tournament games. Your friend crossed a line and deserved no warning for putting on such a show of unsporting conduct. She needs to can the Bobby Knight act.
